Holy crap, we're headed into the final stretch of 2009. How did that happen?
Anyway, what this means is... this week is all about one thing: 2009 RETROSPECTIVES FOR THE WIN!
Today I'm talking about movies. Movies I rarely get to see in the optimal format -- the big screen -- because no one will babysit my kid. Or more accurately, I can't afford to pay someone competent to watch my kid AND buy tickets to see a movie at the same time. The Red Cross will only pay so much for my blood yo and competent is the key word in that last sentence because I'm "bad" but not that "bad".
If I was that kind of "bad", I'd just give the aluminum-foiled hat guy who hangs out in the bushes next to our building five bucks to entertain my kid while I catch a film at the cinema.
See? I'm not all that "bad". I know where to draw the line.
But I was talking about movies of 2009, not parenting tips, so back to the subject at hand: The Movies of 2009. I tripped upon this awesome YouTube compilation of the films of 2009 and I'm kinda shocked at how few I saw in the theatre and I kinda cried over the good ones I missed.
FTR: I saw Terminator Salvation, Watchmen, New Moon, and of course UP in the theatre but that's about it.
Any recommendations or ones I should definitely skip? I'd watch Terminator Salvation again but Watchmen was meh, New Moon only works if you are into that kind of thing (see image for post: Team Wolf Please), and UP will make a stone-cold killer cry like a little baby.
